Microsoft Entra: Updated passkey registration experience in My Sign-ins

Users will see an additional checkbox and updated link text, along with steps to guide users to open Microsoft Authenticator and select the + button to begin registration. If users can’t complete registration directly in Authenticator, the updated link text will help them find the WebAuthn registration flow.
